Nigerian singer Crayon has publicly announced the end of his friendship with fellow music star Rema, following an emotional outburst in which he accused his former record label, Mavin Records, of negatively affecting his personal life and musical journey.
The singer made the declarations in a series of posts on his X account, where he expressed frustration over what he described as repeated disappointments and hurt from people he once considered close to him.
In one of the posts, Crayon lamented the loss of his former personality, accusing Mavin Records of taking away the loving and playful side of him.
He recalled joining the music outfit as a young and ambitious artiste from Ojo, Lagos, with dreams of becoming one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. However, he claimed that his experience after joining the label left him feeling that he had compromised important parts of himself in pursuit of success.
The singer’s comments also took a personal turn as he directly addressed Rema, whose real name is Divine Ikubor, declaring that their friendship had come to an end.
Crayon said he had endured enough emotional hurt and had decided to leave the situation in God’s hands. He also appealed to Rema to caution his supporters, whom he accused of attacking him online.
The singer further alleged that he had sent messages to Rema without receiving a response for about six months, questioning why someone he considered a close friend had stopped communicating with him.
He also mentioned another Mavin executive, Tega Oghenejobo, while expressing dissatisfaction with the way he believed he had been treated. Crayon suggested that he could disclose more information about his experiences and disagreements with the individuals involved.
The development has attracted attention because of the history between both singers, who were previously associated with the same music label and had collaborated on musical projects.
Crayon joined the Mavin music family in 2019 through its Blowtime Entertainment imprint, while Rema became one of the label’s biggest international stars after joining its music family in the same year through Jonzing World.
Their professional relationship included collaborations and public displays of friendship, making Crayon’s latest declaration particularly striking to fans who had followed their relationship over the years.
The singer’s latest outburst has also revived conversations about his earlier public disagreements with Mavin Records and its leadership. In March 2026, he made controversial remarks about the label and hinted at a possible separation from the music outfit.
His more recent comments, however, have placed greater attention on his personal relationship with Rema and his claim that his experience in the music industry changed him.
As of the time of this report, neither Rema nor Mavin Records had publicly issued a response to the latest allegations.
It also remains unclear what specific incident triggered Crayon’s decision to end the friendship, as the singer has not provided a detailed account of the events behind the disagreement.
